The State of Data Security in Europe

Digital transformation and the move to the cloud are fundamentally changing business operations throughout Europe – and are putting organizations crown jewels, their sensitive data, at risk. Traditional market leaders are driven to digital transformation by the opportunity for greater efficiency, flexibility and new business models – while also fending off rivals entering their markets with an “all digital” focus. In this session we’ll address the state of data security in European enterprises today, the changing landscape of risks to data due to digital transformation, and IT security pros priorities for data security today.

Based on the results from the 2019 Thales Data Threat Report – European Edition (now in its sixth year), expect to learn about:

- How the adoption of digital transformation technologies, and especially cloud, is putting sensitive data at greater risk
- The data security challenges facing European enterprises today
- Critical analyst recommendations for how organizations can be most effective when selecting the right tools to protect their sensitive data

The explosion of cloud applications and identities have set IT decision makers on a quest for reconciling the benefits of the cloud with the security and compliance requirements needs of the enterprise. Much like the user experience offered by mainstream consumer applications, cloud access management solutions have emerged to address the multi-faceted challenges of the new zero trust enterprise network. With cloud applications now a crucial part of day-to-day business operations, the 2019 Thales Access Management Index found that almost half (49%) of IT security professionals believe cloud applications make them a target for cyber-attacks. Cloud applications are listed in the top three reasons an organization might be attacked, just behind unprotected infrastructure such as IoT devices (54%) and web portals (50%).

This webinar will review the findings of the Thales global report and how organizations around the world are approaching cloud security and the technologies they are using to secure employee access to cloud services. Specifically, in this webinar attendees will learn:
- What are the major attack vectors for cyber attacks
- Which access management technologies organizations are deploying to secure access to the cloud
- Which access management technologies IT professionals deem the most effective in securing access to the cloud
- The criteria IT professionals use to determine access policies for users
- Who are the internal stakeholders involved in Access Management deployments

Digital transformation is fundamentally impacting all industries, and nowhere is this truer than in retail. The internet and mobile technologies have fundamentally changed retailers’ business models, not only by opening new channels to reach customers, but also how they communicate with, serve, and support them.

While digital transformation is touching every industry, U.S. retailers are leaders are on the leading edge of implementations,
with 42% of retailers saying they are either aggressively disrupting the markets in which they participate or embedding digital capabilities that enable greater organizational agility. While Digital Transformation is allowing retailers to introduce new business models and reach more customers in new and innovative ways, it is introducing added difficulties for information security professionals and raises the potential to put sensitive customer data at risk.

Based on the results from the 2019 Thales Data Threat Report – Retail Edition, participants in this webinar can expect to learn about:
•How the adoption of digital transformation technologies, and especially cloud, is putting sensitive data at greater risk
•The data security challenges facing retail companies today
•Critical analyst recommendations for how organizations can be most effective when selecting the right tools that will enable them to manage greater amounts of complexity, that span legacy on-premises needs as well as modern, cloud-based, edge-oriented technologies.

In a recent Thales survey, two thirds of CISOs cited the increase in cloud service adoption, combined with a lack of strong security solutions, as the main reasons cloud services are the prime targets of attack. As organizations undergo digital and cloud transformation, CISOs and security officers are operating in a high stress environment caused by security, compliance and manageability challenges.

In this presentation we’ll discuss how identities are becoming the new security perimeter in a zero trust world and present best practices for implementing an access management framework that can help organizations remain secure – and scale – in distributed networking environments.

Driven by government mandates, the need for greater efficiency, and the desire to enable better patient care U.S. healthcare organizations are universally adopting cloud and other digital transformation technologies. But this transition can put patients’ sensitive healthcare and financial information fundamentally at risk. In this session, we’ll address the state of data security in healthcare companies today, the changing landscape of risks to data due to digital transformation, and IT security pros priorities for data security today.

Since Australia’s Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme launched on the 22nd February 2018, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) noted that there were 964 data breaches reported between 1 Apr 2018 and 31 March 2019. This equates to just over 700% increase in data breaches reported compared to the 114 data breaches voluntarily reported in the previous year … a mind blowing statistic.

With cyber-attacks unwaning, it is not surprising to see that the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) released its Prudential Standard CPS 234 for Information Security on 1st July 2019. The objective of CPS 234 is to ensure all APRA regulated entities in the banking, insurance and superannuation industries are prepared to protect against any information security incidents (including cyber-attacks) and are able to respond swiftly and effectively in the event of a data breach.

This webinar will:
•Discuss the key requirements of CPS 234
•Identify disruptive cybersecurity trends and the implications
•Share best practices to protect against data breaches

Although most major cloud providers now offer native cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) services, how do you choose the right cloud HSM? According to 451 Research, 69% of enterprises now have a hybrid, multi-cloud strategy. With hybrid, multi-cloud environments likely to be the norm as we move into 2020, managing multiple cloud HSMs will increase complexity, cost of ownership and operational overhead.

Join us as we discuss the complexities of managing native cloud HSMs separately, leading to islands of security with different features and rules for each. We’ll show you how the smarter and simpler route is to use a cloud HSM provider that can centrally manage and secure your entire cryptographic operations across all cloud environments.

This informative webinar will cover:
• A current view of the cloud’s impact on IT business models
• Why HSMs are critical to data security on premise or in the cloud
• How creating centralized key management and security strategy will make your cloud life a whole lot easier
• Building blocks for an HSM strategy for security across all cloud and hybrid IT environments

When you sign a piece of code, you make a statement that it comes from your trusted brand and that you stand behind it. But what happens when that trust is broken? Recent attacks, such as the ASUS Live Update hack, underscore the importance of managing reputational risk.

As attackers become increasingly skilled in the art of signing and spreading malware, all business leaders must invest in the trust associated with their digital brand – and expect the same of their vendors. The challenge is how to secure code signing keys and certificates in today’s distributed and fast-paced DevOps environments.

Join our experts as they discuss:
- Code Signing: What is it? Why does it matter?
- Recent Attacks: The Risks and Challenges of Code Signing
- How to Secure Code Signing at the Speed of DevOps
- How Thales and Keyfactor Make It Possible

Security and risk management professionals face ever-increasing needs to encrypt various types of sensitive data stored on-premises, in private and public clouds and in hybrid environments in order to protect their organizations in the event of a data breach. Compliance mandates, internal security audits, data residency issues and threats of hackers are driving the requirements for enterprises to develop a centralized enterprise-wide encryption strategy to prioritize sensitive data protection. In addition, regulations, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have dramatically increased pressure on security professional leaders to review and revamp their approach to encryption key management.

To meet these needs, security professionals are using a growing number of encryption tools to protect data within a variety of data storage environments. These may be located within local and external IT environments and systems, such as file stores, databases, big data platforms or various clouds. However, encrypting data in each of these environment results in the creation of islands of encryption and diverse key management platforms which increases complexity, costs and risk of data loss.

In this webinar, you will:
• Gain insight into trends that are driving the digital cloud transformation and how key management plays a role
• Understand the importance of developing a centralized approach to encryption key management
• Examine where and when you should encrypt your organization’s data and typical key management use cases
• Learn how to implement an enterprise-wide key management operational model that can reduce cost of ownership and minimize overall risks

The introduction of GDPR in May 2018 brought data protection to the top of businesses’ priority lists. So how can businesses and other organizations ensure they are compliant and what steps do they need to take?
In this webinar, certified DPO Jan Smets with provide a six-step overview to help achieve compliance:

Up until now, PKI hardware’s limitations meant companies could not adopt cloud and mobility projects without having to completely ‘rip and replace’ their current security framework. As a result, companies have been using smart cards and tokens to allow their employees to authenticate themselves while accessing corporate resources, but this was limited to activity within the enterprise perimeter. In addition, companies that use PKI credentials for email encryption and digital signing have also been limited to on-premises environments.

In this webinar, you will learn about how organizations can deploy SafeNet Trusted Access and benefit from single sign on (SSO) and high assurance PKI-based authentication, making it easier and more secure to access cloud and web-based apps and resources from wherever and on any device. Using the solution, employees will no longer have to re-authenticate each time they access a resource with their smart card, enabling more efficiency across the company – while allowing enterprises to maintain high assurance security when needed.

In this webinar you will also learn how to build on current PKI investments, and embrace digital transformation without compromising on security, including:
•Enabling cloud transformation: Organizations can extend PKI credentials to access policies, allowing CISOs to maintain security in the cloud by triggering the use of step up PKI-based authentication to cloud and web-based apps when needed
•Facilitating mobility: Employees can access enterprise applications within virtual environments with their PKI credentials. This means that employees and consultants will be able to access corporate apps via a VDI, from any device and carry out certificate-based transactions, even if they can’t use their smart cards

As mid-sized and large organizations move to cloud based delivery for software, infrastructure and storage, hybrid environments are the de-facto reality. Perimeter security schemes no longer meet the security challenges of distributed software and application delivery, leading CISOs to try and mesh disparate solutions, or worse knowingly compromise on protection. Join Gemalto to hear best practices for applying consistent and effective access security and strong authentication to both on-prem and cloud apps.

New data tells us that companies are making progress when it comes to securing the Internet of Things and the data it produces, but there is still a long way to go in order to secure the projected 20 billion connected devices by 2023. In order to assess the current state of affairs, Gemalto recently surveyed 950 IT and business decision makers around the world with awareness of IoT in their organization. Some of the results were encouraging, while others were less so.

According to the global survey, security is clearly an emerging priority. Companies are now devoting 13 percent of their IoT budgets to security, up from 11 percent last year. Ninety percent said they believe security is a major consideration for their customers and 97 percent believe that a strong approach to IoT security is a key competitive differentiator.

In addition to these data findings from the global study, this webinar will discuss:
•The top technologies companies are utilizing to secure IoT infrastructure and data
•Which countries are most advanced when it comes to the security of IoT
•What companies think about the role of government regulation on IoT security
